Crazy story. I wonder what mechanism allows the new owner to keep the house? Logically it seems like they should just lose their money. With stolen property this situation would totally make sense, but it's not like the house was ever

English is a third language for me, I would expect that regardless of language everyone can understand the concepts of sarcasm and irony if they're willing to spend any time thinking about what they are reading. There's literall

Honestly, I really hope that I don't need to explain the logic behind my comment. It should be obvious to anyone willing to spend more than a couple of seconds thinking about it. I would hope that on HN we'd actually try to read a

NEVER REPLY! Not unless your lawyer advises you to, it can only cost you. If you don't have a lawyer, just don't reply.

There's one thing that all combat sports, not only Jujitsu teach you. Even if you're good at fighting, it's best not to start fights. You might do this once, and "win" the battle. The federal government will come fo

How did you get there from my comment? I never suggested that criminality should be encouraged. These people should be prosecuted, but financial surveillance isn't the solution. Money laundering isn't the problem, the actual crime

This assumes that home users don't have any data worth protecting. I think that's a ridiculous thing to assume. IME does not affect your average user at all, so I'm not sure why you'd bring that up. >remember how enab

This reads exactly like the crazy conspiracy theory nonsense that FOSS-clowns were pushing out regarding Secure Boot. How did that end up? Well, turns out that they can now safely be called clowns.

Why refuse? If the money turns out to be ill-gotten you can just prosecute the owners and seize the money.

This doesn't really seem like a convincing counterargument. These people are criminals who should have their day in court, but I don't understand how that is supposed to justify financial mass surveillance. Instead of complaining

This has nothing to do with slavery. Most countries allow you to import products of slave labour, even the US only banned this a few years ago. Many western countries seem to be okay with slavery they can see too, read the thirteenth amendm

Where'd you get that idea? I doubt anyone believes that. Nobody is arguing for free passes for criminals. A couple of people breaking the law is no excuse for financial mass surveillance (or any other kind of mass surveillance). Arguin

Why should it be stopped? I think most economists would see that as a huge mistake. Dirty money coming in does not need to be functionally different from clean money. Only thing that matters is what it's spent on. Why should a country

We could call them hubs for money laundering and tax evasion, or we could try to use more neutral terminology and simply refer to them as "privacy hubs" or something similar, no? Not that the UK would be a particularly great examp

Why would it mean that? Slight differences in one thing can result in dramatic changes elsewhere. How could you use "hygiene" to justify the unnecessary torture of animals with outdated butchery techniques? 2000 years ago there pr

It doesn't. It simply makes the argument that deep religious beliefs are not different from other deep beliefs. At it's face, this appears to be a pretty reasonable take. Why would religious beliefs be special?

by FDSGSG 5y ago
Our democratic model will bend to the unreasonable demands of the majority. But religious people are increasingly not the majority in Europe, certainly not the ones that demand special animal abuse privileges.
